I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

Paras was also eating and making noises. This was the moment he was looking forward to the most.

After swallowing the energy cube, Seal Ball became much closer, its UU-shaped lips became more curved, and it circled around Xu Li.

"Sealball, do you know how to get back to your companions?"

Although Xu Li fled in the direction he came from, he inevitably deviated from the direction as he ran.

The seal ball stopped spinning and shook its body.

"Popo~"

The seal ball turned around and rolled in one direction.

Seeing this, Xu Li pulled Paras and asked Katie and Gou Yaya to follow.

It seemed that Sealball was very familiar with this place, turning left and right with ease. Other Pokémon on the road basically chose to avoid Xu Li and his group when they saw them.

Finally, we arrived at a beach. In front of us, we could see a lot of seal balls gathered together, and some were floating in the shallow water, but we didn’t seem to see their evolved forms.

"Popo-Popo-"

The seal balls went up and started communicating with their own kind. During the communication, several seal balls anxiously left the group and rolled away.

The seal balls also knew that Xu Li was the benefactor of the leader seal ball, and they all patted their bellies and circled around Xu Li.

About half an hour later, several seals that had just left the tribe returned with two huge sea lions.

One of the terrestrial sea lions is much larger than the other one, and as expected, it is also the leader.

There are two rings around the neck and two white stripes on the tail fin.

There is a thick layer of fat hidden on the huge blue body, which is the guarantee for them to resist the cold. There are two huge fangs on the side of their mouth, which are their weapons to bite the enemies to pieces.

But the leader, the Emperor Sea Lion, suffered a lot of injuries. Looking at the purple wounds on its body, it seemed that it went to rescue the little seal ball, and then met the leader, the King Dragon Scorpion.

A group of sea lions also followed the Emperor Sea Lion and the Seal Ball back, and everyone in the group was injured to varying degrees.

Seeing this, the seals took out piles of peaches, pomeloes, and oranges and gave them to the returning team to provide them with supplies and treatment.

"Popo~"

“Woo-woo~”

After communicating with the seal ball group, the Emperor Sea Lion understood the situation and was in a good mood after seeing the little seal ball returned safely.

He approached Xu Li and nodded to him friendly.

"Woo——"

Then, he shook his head, shook out a shell from the white fur beside his neck, and handed it to Xu Li.

【Shell Bell】

[When the Pokémon carrying it attacks and causes damage, it can restore a small amount of health]

Xu Li accepted it with peace of mind.

Another Emperor Fang Sea Lion was commanding the group of sea lions. Following its orders, some of the sea lions in the group that were not seriously injured dived into the sea.

Soon, the waves broke, and several sea lions appeared with sea fish on their heads. The sea fish were mixed with the fruits they had collected and piled in the center of the seal ball group.

The seals swayed their bodies around the food, as if performing an ancient ritual.

Did the scene suddenly seem to have fast-forwarded to a party? Xu Li thought to himself as he saw this scene.

The little seal ball leader came to Xu Li and pushed Xu Li and Xu Li's Pokémon to the center of the food pile.

Xu Li guessed: "Are they asking us to choose the food first?"

The little seal ball nodded up and down with its round body

"Popo~"

The sea fish looked fresh but raw. Xu Li didn’t like eating raw fish very much, so he finally chose tree fruit.

It was a white and yellow fruit that looked like a mango.

【Mango】

[Sweet Intimacy Fruit, restores a portion of the target's health. If the target hates sweetness, they will fall into confusion.]

Yaya and the others also chose their food. Caterpillar picked up the biggest tuna, while Yaya and Paras chose fruits.

Seeing Xu Li and the Pokémon get the food, the other Pokémons seemed to have heard the starting gun and started to move and enjoy the prepared food.

“Popo——”

“Po~Po—”

The seals who were enjoying the food couldn't help but pat their bellies. For a moment, the patting sounds came one after another, like a chaotic music.

"Tooth~Tooth~Tooth~"

Yaya also imitated the seal ball and patted his belly, seeming to enjoy the moment very much.

On the beach, there was a spectacular scene: dozens of seals were flapping their bellies, bringing the atmosphere of the party to a climax.

Looking at the cute and charming appearance of the seal balls, Xu Li couldn't help but laugh. He took out 20 energy cubes and shared his unique food with the group of seal balls.

The seal balls who tasted the energy cube were also amazed. They all swayed around Xu Li, expressing their love for him.

Next, Xu Li used the sparks from Growlithe to light a bonfire, roasted some sea fish on it, and shared it with the Pokémon at the party.

It was a simple and sincere party, both the host and the guests had a great time, and Xu Li and Seal Ball formed a friendship.

As the sky gradually darkened, the grand banquet finally came to an end.

The seal balls on the beach gradually left, and the leader of the little seal balls pushed a pile of tree fruits to Xu Li, signaling Xu Li to accept the tree fruits.

"Thank you, Seal Ball"

Xu Li squatted down and touched the seal ball. The seal ball also rubbed Xu Li affectionately, showing a big smile.

"wave~wave~"

This is a farewell.

Then, it turned its round body and wanted to join the departing group of seals.

"Wait, Seal Ball!"

Xu Li hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the Seal Ball's Poké Ball. After a pause, he said:

"This...Pokeball, take it, so no one else can catch you."

Seal Ball turned around and was stunned.

Then, he rolled over and pushed back the Poké Ball that Xu Li handed over.

"Po~Po~"

"Do you want me to keep it for you?"

"wave~wave~"

Seal Ball nodded his head up and down in delight, his eyes narrowed.

"I see. I'll keep it safe!"

Chapter 7 The Village Heard of This Person

After parting with Seal Ball, the sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the sunset slanted onto the beach.

After Xu Li had eaten and drunk his fill, he was looking for a place to rest for the night, but someone found him first.

Xu Li looked at the woman who ran up to him. She was about fifteen years old, with a pretty face and shoulder-length hair. She was wearing a red dress, a conical hat on her head, white leggings and clogs on her feet, and a square logo embroidered on her chest.

The woman looked at Fangya and Caterpie cautiously and said:

"Hello, I'm Haru Arashi from the Galaxy Guard. I'm in charge of guarding the Galaxy's Ultramarine Coast Beach Camp."

"Just now we noticed a large gathering of Pokémon on the beach. We observed dozens of Seals and Phalarope, as well as the King of the Beach, Dire. We also saw you involved. If possible, could you tell us what happened?"

"Hello, my name is Xu Li. I was having a party with the seals just now. It's over now."

"Party?" Chun Lan was a little incredulous.

In the impressions of most people in Xicui, such as Chunlan, Pokémon are very scary creatures, and holding a party with Pokémon is unheard of.

"Yes, the seals are all very friendly."

Chun Lan, who was stationed on the Blue Coast, had learned about the seal tribe. Although they were not afraid of humans, they didn't pay much attention to them.

Chun Lan also heard that the members of the investigation team who came to the Blue Coast were chased by sea lions and almost died.

Thinking of this, Chun Lan looked at Xu Li with some admiration. This was the person who could forge friendship with the seal ball tribe.

At this time, Xu Li said, "Um, can I visit your camp?"

Chun Lan seemed to have remembered something and patted his head and said, "Ah, sure, sure. We'd love to. The doctor heard about the situation here and asked me to invite you to the camp."

"Then let's go."

Following Chunlan on the road to the beach camp, there were many uphill roads and the terrain gradually became higher, passing by many Pokémon.

A cat curiously poked its head out of the bushes to look at the people on the road. After Xu Li turned around and looked at the cat, it immediately shyly hid in the bushes.

He also saw a long-tailed monster hanging on the tree, with its tail curled around the tree, looking at Xu Li with a smile.

Finally, we arrived at the beach camp, where tents stood on the higher flat ground.

The most eye-catching thing is a flag fluttering in the wind, with the same pattern embroidered on it as the one on Chunlan’s chest. I guess it’s the Galaxy team’s logo.

As Xu Li approached, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a purple-white turban with what appeared to be a frog pattern came towards him. He was wearing a neat and clean white lab coat, the style of a researcher, and extended his hand to Xu Li.

"I suppose you are the one who participated in the seal ball group activity not long ago. Everyone calls me Dr. Laben."

Xu Li shook hands with Dr. Laben and replied, "Hello, Dr. Laben, my name is Xu Li."

"Let me get straight to the point. I'm dedicated to studying the Pokémon ecosystem and want to create something called a Pokédex. I need to include information on various Pokémon. I just saw that Xu Li was in a group of seal balls and seemed quite familiar with them, so I wanted to find you to learn more about them."

"Of course, my friend, if you need anything, you can come to me. We will pay you!"

At this moment, Dr. Laben saw Fangya and Growlithe following Xu Li's feet and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, these Pokémon I've never seen before, and this Growlithe, a very rare Pokémon! You really have brought me so many surprises, my friend. Can you let me collect information on these Pokémon?"

Xu Li was a little stunned by Dr. Laben's enthusiasm. After a pause, he replied:

"This child's name is Fang. I can tell you some information about Pokémon, but I need to rest. I'm very tired after running around all day."

"Is that so? There's no rush. Can you come back with us to Zhuqing Village to rest? There's a better resting environment there."

"Okay, trouble."

Immediately, Xu Li boarded the convoy back to Zhuqing Village.

It seemed like he was eager to bring Xu Li back to Zhuqing Village. If Xu Li hadn't played games before, he would have thought he was going to take him to Myanmar to make a fortune.

On the convoy heading to Zhuqing Village, Dr. Laben was chatting with Xu Li and was amazed at Xu Li's knowledge and familiarity with Pokémon.

After about three hours' drive, it was completely dark. Xu Li arrived at Zhuqing Village and was arranged by Dr. Laben to rest in a guest room. He also brought him food.

Although this residence was not popular, it had all the necessary facilities, including tatami, a mirror, a shower area, and even a stove. Xu Li, who had to live in a cave after surviving in the wild for several days, was very satisfied with it.

After cleaning his body, he washed Yaya Growlithe and Paras. Growlithe was a little afraid of water, so after some tossing and turning, Xu Li lay on the tatami.

There was a Cati lying next to his head, emitting warmth, and Fang was lying on his belly. Paras was looking around the room curiously.

Xu Li opened the system and checked the achievement rewards.
